Eugene Burger(On MAGIC magazine’s list for being one of the most influential magicians of the twentieth century)"A fabulous tale incorporating Magic, Martial arts and Eastern Philosophy. I loved it! Tom Meseroll has managed to meld the many forms and philosophies of magic into a marvelous tale of good and evil. I can't wait for the sequel!!"Sequel Available on Amazon Fall of 2013 !!

Jon Ochiai(Movie Critic, 3rd Dan Black-Belt Aikido)"Like the discipline of the Martial Arts, Magus is about surrender to the Path or the Way in one's own life. Magus embraces the wonder and surprise that is life through the transfomational journey of Nicholas Thompson. It is all about reclaiming and discovering one's greatness. Tom Meseroll brilliantly narrates and collapses the worlds of physics, magic and martial arts into one coherent story. Ultimately, Tom's Magus is an allegory of mastery in life. Perhaps, true magic is about discovering one's own power, and enrolling others in their own inherent greatness. The power of the universe begins with being at one with it. The Magus expolres these possibilities in an engaging, and entertaining tale of wonder and adventure!"

Bob Fitch(Magician, Actor and Teacher of the Magical Arts)"Tom Meseroll’s novel is thought provoking...Blending of three interests, i.e. science, magic and martial arts weaving a very interesting story with complex, thought provoking ideas. His image of such a magician creates the character in our minds; perhaps one we'd imagine ourselves to be...certainly the superhero aspect. I mean, who hasn't fantasized being Superman, or someone with superpowers saving the world. Perhaps even becoming a magician is part of that wondrous fantasy of ours. At any rate we are literally pulled into the story, wondering what will come next and what will happen...hungry for answers.”

I found "Magus, Master of Martial Magic" to be inspirational, fun and (one more time) "thought provoking".....a great read!”

Finally, the sequel to the critically acclaimed saga of the Magi continues in Magus: Master of Martial Magic, Book II, Lessons for the Novice, with the protagonist Nicholas Thompson delving deeper into the mysteries of magic and reality. The tale resumes where Magus, Book I ended. It chronicles the escalating battle between good and evil in the magical world of the Magi while exploring further the nature of reality and the deep relationships between magic, martial arts, philosophy, and quantum physics. Edited expertly by Professor Larry Hass, with an eye for the philosophical, the book is available today at Createspace and will be available on Amazon and elsewhere within the week. Kindle version will also be available soon.
